"We just arrived in Vienna after travelling in other cities for a few days, and we were starving, so we decided to go out to find food without doing any online research. It was our first time in Vienna!This was a lovely place to sit and eat, the service was attentive and friendly, and the food was nice. The schnitzel is excellent, and great value for the price. The pasta with seafood is a bit stingy - there is hardly any pasta in the dishes, so you still feel quite hungry after you have ordered your meal. This is strange because pasta is quite cheap! Nonetheless, the dish was delicious. The beer was great, the dessert was tasty, but also on the small side.When the time came to pay the bill, which was €64,~ the waiter suggested we round up to €70. When I offered a smaller tip, the waiter said "that is not a tip", so I felt embarrassed and paid the €70. This is he sort of tip we would pay in a country like to US, so it didn't seem right. When we went back to our hotel, we asked at reception about the local custom of tipping, and they said that tipping is happily accepted at restaurants, but there is no expectation that a tip is going to be given, however you may tip €1-€2 if you have enjoyed the service. We were told that there is certainly no expectation to tip a minimum amount, because this is the customer's choice, and that the man was stupid to ask for more money!I feel stupid now, and annoyed that I fell into a tourist trap. I will not go to this restaurant again =("
